  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In 2009, North American marijuana seizures made up 70% of global seizures, followed by Africa (11%), South America (10%), Asia (6%) and Europe (3%).
  • Fentanyl withdrawal symptoms can occur within just a few hours of the last dose, and will typically become worse and worse and more intense until they reach a plateau, and will typically subside within a few days to a week.
  • Although there has been a dramatic decline in the use of some illegal drugs such as cocaine, recent government studies report that nearly one-third of people aged 12 and over whom used drugs for the first time in 2009 began by using a prescription drug non-medically.
  • Because heroin users are never truly aware of the actual strength of a single dose of the drug or its true contents, they are at a great risk of overdose or death.
  • Inhalants abused in high concentrations can cause death due to suffocation by displacing oxygen into the lungs and then in the central nervous system.

Detoxification

Detoxification is typically the first step in getting off drugs. It allows a particular person to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A prevalent mistake that a lot of addicts make is to think that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is hardly ever the case. All detox does is get someone through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to discover the root of why somebody was using drugs in the first place.
